If a user tries to login with his username (ex. jsmith)
or by getent command (getent passwd jsmith),
sssd creates a ldap query with "uid=username".

from sssd logs:
[sssd[be[default]]] [sdap_get_generic_ext_step] (0x0400): calling
ldap_search_ext with [(&(uid=jsmith)(objectclass=posixAccount))] ...

If it would be possible to change the uid to something configurable,
like "mail:" a user could use his email address to login.
Everything else Unix-username, uidnumber, gidnumber, homedir, gecos ....
should still be processed, like searching for a user entry with uid=.

Just a modification how the user entry should be fetched from a ldap server.
Maybe with a conf option
lookup_username_attr mail
#default uid
With a second "domain section" a user could use his unix accountname and his email
to login.

It's already possible to remap attributes and log in with UPNs, therefore I'm postponing this ticket.

Login with mail and overriding attributes is already possible, therefore we should close this ticekt.
